When I was a child, I can remember taking the time to write a letter to Alyssa Milano.  Who’s the Boss was one of my favorite shows and I just idolized her.  Back then when you tried to reach out to a celebrity via mail, the odds of ever getting a response were slim to none.

Cincinnati is lucky enough to be home to the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center. Yesterday they announced a new iPhone app that guides you as you tour the Center.

The new iPod tour at the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center will provide visitors with a unique interactive experience; enhancing the exhibits, the photographs, and the stories to create a life changing journey for all ages. Visitors will be able to hear accounts of enslaved people, Underground Railroad conductors, founding fathers, and even slave traders, while viewing additional photographs, videos, and maps on the iPod screen that will further bring to life the poignant and powerful story that is the struggle for freedom. Head over to the Freedom Center’s Blog for complete details

If you live in Cincinnati and watch Fox19 news, you may have seen me on their 10 o’clock news last night. PS. It is so weird to see yourself on TV… A reporter with the station contacted me a few weeks ago after reading about my weight loss efforts both here and on the weight loss blog I contribute to, Cincinnati Losers.  During the interview we talked about my efforts and the MAJOR role that social media (the people — you guys!) has played in my success. A big shout out to my Cincinnati Losers co-bloggers who are my weight loss rocks!
